What. The. Fcuk?

[Worthy4England]

Indeed, Monty has it right...so it would depend how pretty the lady was ...

Indeed, Prufrock, I have no truck with your sentiments. I do though consider that the homosexuals among us would further their cause better (if you know what I mean) by just being themselves - in the sense of normal citizens - and get on with life. To be honest I suspect that most do, but a significant proportion do not. Here in Sydney we have an annual 'Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras' which, in my opinion, has long passed its use by date. It began as a sort of protest by those of that bent in order to highlight their perceived inequities of perception and treatment in comparison to those accorded heterosexuals. In that the organisers were successful.

Whilst at times the parodies and puns and peccadilloes on display at these extravaganzas can be clever, even witty, they do also, again in my opinion, point up the insecurities of the participants. Why? Well it's no longer necessary. To the best of my knowledge (barring the civil union or 'marriage' - I'd have to check) homosexual activities of either gender are now treated in the same manner as those of heterosexuals. Good stuff, but why does our local government subsidise the damn thing? Buggered if I know, mate.

Getting back to your original comment (about time!) your philosophic non-friend has every right to rabbit on about his so-called belief. Let him prove it in a rigorous and proper manner - after all science has always used the mantra that any theory or hypothesis is only as good as the results of its testing.

Homophobe

Dunno about that - seems happy enough if "he knows"...

And a bit of 'DIY' to boot! Tut tut tut!

This just goes on the grounds of nature or nurture. Either they are naturally gay, or have been brought up or experienced such things that have then made them gay. The debate continues on this subject.

See, there's something I don't quite understand about gay marches promoting homosexualty and lesbianism for instance. Why do they not just protest as anyone else does? Why do blokes walk about in leather short with no ass in a blatant display of erotic sexism rather than the right to hold same sex relationships? Surely homosexuality needs some dignity if it is to be taken as equal to hetrosexuality? Or is it just blatantly based on sex and nothing else? Or am I just nieve?

It's not intended to for equal rights anymore, it's a pulling fest

Oooh! are you not clever then?

I normally leave my word play for the reader to consider, reject, or simply chuckle at and most assuredly do not expect others to do my explaining for me.
